Photoemissive materials for 0.35 Micron laser fiducials in X-ray streak cameras
Abstract
Using a soft X-ray streak camera, materials are tested for suitability as transmission photocathodes when irradiated by 0.35 micron laser pulses. Preliminary measurements of sensitivity, dynamic range and temporal resolution are reported. A practical fiber optic fiducial under development for laser fusion X-ray diagnostics on the LLNL Nova laser system is described.
